Queen Victoria (1837-1901) came to the throne at the age of 18. This era only lasted for one lifetime, but it is the period where Britain achieved the height of its power.

The achievements in the Victorian era came from those established in the earlier Georgian era. Victoria inherited a large empire and during her reign it was to nearly double in size and included huge territories in Africa.
